Researcher / Policy Writer

Research for a purpose.

The role

Here's the job description.

What we’re looking for

In every interview

To make this easier for both us and you, we're going to be very clear about what we're looking for, and what we're not interested in.

  1. Plain language

    We'll take it as given that you're hard-working, details-oriented and a good communicator. Skip the buzzwords and the pre-prepared competency answers.

  2. Impressiveness

    We want to hear about the things you've done that no one else asked for, that no one else thought of, or that no one else could do.

  3. Excitement

    We want to talk about the things you're excited about or obsessed with. Even if they're a bit weird. Perhaps especially if they're a bit weird.

  4. Curiosity

    We know you won't have heard much about us. We'd be surprised if you didn't have questions about what we do, how we work and what we're aiming for.

  5. Ambition

    Finally, we're looking for people who have big ambitions for themselves, and who are happy to think big about the impact they can have. We'll do our best to help you get there.
